Last month’s 11-1 loss to Dodge County was one of the most lopsided in recent memory. Tuesday’s rematch in Eastman was much closer, but left the Royals frustrated.

Cody Dennis’ single in the fifth broke a scoreless tie. Dodge tied the game in the sixth on an error with two outs. BC stranded a runner at third in the seventh. In extras, they would strand runners in both the eighth and ninth.
